It’s going to turn out that LLM “AI” is one of the inventions like nuclear weapons that can severely regress an advanced civilization. Sometimes it even feels like it is likely to corrupt sentience itself, degrading it into mere cargo cult imitation. After all, if the only one in the room “thinking” is a statistical model of the thought that came before it, how could this be anything other than a dead end. We have a…

For what they are worth, nuclear weapons are still preventing large-scale conflict between world powers.

We have more wars on-going right now than any other point in history, excluding World Wars.

I don't think we are doing very well in preventing "large scale" conflict between World Powers.

Russia v. Ukraine war has half a million deaths on the Russian side alone. Is this large scale?

I would rather hear the answer “I don’t know. I had to look it up.” (And I don’t care what you have used as sources, as citing counts with norms/laws or in academics.) If you really rewrite LLM’s response in your own words, I will know that you have learnt something. Because if you tell me directly that you have asked Claude, next time I will probably ask Claude directly as I don’t need you. And we won’t be able to d…

> If you really rewrite LLM’s response in your own words, I will know that you have learnt something. What a waste of time. Do you treat your coworkers like students trying to do homework that you assigned? > Because if you tell me directly that you have asked Claude, next time I will probably ask Claude directly as I don’t need you. I should be upfront about the use of AI when providing an answer. You in turn would…

If the only thing people can do is regurgitate an AI agent than what good are they?

I agree and on my death bed I'm going to realize I spent my life working from home, talking to a machine, and not enriching any person's life directly. It's just so gruesomely LONELY.

Yeah but that's because people suck so fucking much. 1. "Sorry can't come" an hour after we were supposed to meet - this alone kills 80% of my friendships 2. "I like edgy humor" and then a month later "I'm going to report you to HR" literally had this happen to me 3. Most people have very little depth and stick to superficial smalltalk, which I find very exhausting And when on top of that you say "I wish my friend ha…

This is pretty textbook antisocial behavior. Also, every one of those points is a normal way to deal with someone you don’t like or want to distance yourself from.

LMGTFY is an ironic jab, not a suggestion. > if you are going to ask me for help, at least make some effort first It's actually the other way around. You should think what makes you feel they didn't make an effort? Why do you think I am asking - because I think you have a better answer than I can get from Google or AI. But this is where it's apparently going. We will all talk to AI rather than each other. And we will…

Then we should create LMGPTTFY, then it's at least apparent and the recipient needn't click.

Please don't fulminate on HN. The substance of your point has merit but that ragey style of expressing it is not what HN is for, and destroys what it is for. The guidelines make it clear we're trying for something better here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The what?

I once had someone start _arguing with me_ about stuff using generative text on Slack or generated email replies. Not even to provide information, but just to write flat denials to even continue discussion on the subject. This person had a very distinctive writing style, and the shift to the AI writing style felt pretty obvious and uncanny. I can’t describe how disturbing it was to realize that my voice suddenly no l…

This is honestly terrifying and a perfect example of where AI can end up leading us.

usually it takes lawyers for this!

This reminds me of the Jewish Sabbath. Here in Tel Aviv, Saturday means no shops, much fewer restaurants, less programming on TV, gyms/etc open late/close early. The parks and beaches are full of people just existing.

Reminds me of my friends in Gaza, where every day means no shops, no restaurants, no home, no medicine, no food, no water, no hope. The beaches are full of people just trying to exist.

Friendly reminder that, for all that I despise Israeli politics, "existing in Tel-Aviv" isn't a crime or an aggression against Palestinians.

We can think ill of the Israeli state without jumping to "fuck you for living in Israel and having nice things" as soon as someone mentions their city name.
